(CONTINUED FHOM PAGE ONE) to the wage-hour, administrator. j That is a mistake. Actually only I one industry committee has been I appointed—for textiles —but the provision, of the act become effective generally at the appointed hour. Application of wage-hour, provision. presumably will invalidate parts of existing union labor contracts which do not conform to the law now about to become effective. Included in the act is a paragraph stipulating that the new legislation shall not justify an employer in reducing wage, paid In excess of proposed minimum wages nor justify increasing I hour, of employment which now I are less than the maximum hours 1 provided by the act. in addition to fines and Imprisonment. there is provision for double-indemnity of employer to employe for violations. Recourse I to the courts may be had. as follows: 1. Employe, may sue to recover unpaid maximum wages or unpaid overtime compensation. Violating employers are liable for unpaid sums plus an equal amount ’ as damages, and court costs Including reasonable attorney fees 2. Employers or employes aggrieved by a wage order may obI tain review of the order in a | United States circuit court by ■ the court's power of review is limited to questions of law, the administrator's findings of fact being conclusive when supported by substantial evidence. 3. The federal government may prosecute criminally for violations of the act or for discharge of, or discrimination against, any employe who has filed a complaint under the act or testified , in a wage hearing.

“Oh! She said her name was Buchanan. Why don’t you do the decent thing and marry her?” “She’s married— ’’ “That makes it tough!” “You’re confusing me, Millie.” Stan rubbed a hand gingerly over his forehead. “They’re friends of mine, and she loves her husband. I live in the house with them. He’s an engineer who almost went in for professional fighting. I got him his job here in Miami. Is that clear ?” “Perfectly.” Millie brought in a breakfast tray and set it on the table before him. “It means you have to watch your step. Now eat your breakfast and take a shower. There’s a razor in the bathroom if you want to shave. You’ll feel better when I tell you Hogue drove over to Miami Beach and brought you back a fresh suit of clothes, a clean shirt, and a change of underwear—also your toothbrush." Stan held a piece of toast half way to his mouth. "Whose idea was that?” “Your fighting engineer, Donald Buchanan. I could go for a man as thoughtful as that myself.” Doris had a message for him from Commander Dawson, asking Stan to get in touch with him as soon as possible. Stan called the Commander’s apartment. "Is it too much trouble to run up here ?” Dawson asked. “I have something of interest to show you. After what happened Tuesday afternoon I don’t like to talk over the phone. I hardly feel that I have any privacy in my own place.” "I’ll be there in half an hour,” Stan promised. He was puzzled at Dawson’s tone of suppressed excitement. The Commander was inclined to be phlegmatic, verging on stolidity, yet his voice had trembled noticeably over the phone. Either his day of rough weather fishing had upset him, or he had discovered something most disconcerting upon his return to the apartment Stan had searched the day before. “My head's gone entirely," Stan chided himself. “He’s discovered that somebody went through his place while he was away. Now he’s going te tell me about it and I'll have to look dumb —or admit I'm the guy!” “Good-bye, Partner,” he said to Millie as he left. “Don’t get into trouble until you hear from me.” e e e Dawson opened the apartment door himself in answer to Stan’s ring, and gave a shrewd glance at Stan's face. “You must have been up early this morning. I tried to reach you at your home. They told me you had gone out. Scotch?” "I think I will," Stan was casual. Inwardly he knew there was nothing in the world he wanted more than the soothing coolness of a highball. The weather was also afflicted with a hangover from the previous day, and the drive from Millie’s to Dawson’s under low hung clouds had failed to cheer him. During his search, the day before, he was buoyed up by stimulating excitement The heavy naval austereness of the Commander's furniture had made no impression. In the bleak light of the gloomy morning, it suddenly reminded Stan of the railroad station at Bridgeport, Connecticut. Tremors attacked his legs, and he offered a fervent prayer that Dawson would hurry with the drink. He was striding back and forth when the Commander placed the highball in his hand and said: "Y ou

trator may ask a federal district court to retrain violations of the act by Injunction. The standard work week established hy the act 1. a. follows: Oct. 24, 1938 to Oct. 1939, 44 hours; Oct. 21, 1939 to Oct. 24. 1940, 42 hours; thereafter 40 hours. The law does not prohibit employment in excess of the standard work week provided the employe Is compensated in money (not time off) at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate. Wage minima are established: 1. Oct. 24, 1938 to Oct. 24, 1939 25 cents an hour. 2. Six years from Oct. 24. 1939 to Oct. 24, 1945, 30 cents an hour. 3. Thereafter, 40 cents an hour. The wage and h.urs division has generally defined employes covered by the act and general exemptions. Those covered by the act are: 1. Employes engaged in producing, manufacturing, mining, handling, transporting or in any manner working on goods moving in interstate commerce. 2. Employes engaged in any process or occupation necessary to the production of such goods. 3. Employes engaged in interstate transportation, transmission or communication. Neither wage nor hour provisions apply to: 1. Agricultural workers, seamen, employes of airlines, street car, motorbus, interurban railways and of weekly or semi-week-ly newspapers of less than 3,000 circulation largely distributed in the county of publication. 2. Persons employed In a bona fide executive, administrative, professional, or local retailing capacity, or as outside salesmen. 3. Persons employed in any retail or service establishment, the greater part of whose servicing or selling is in intrastate commerce. 4. Persons employed in fishing and the fishing indu-frv 5.

I think you need one.” “I’m not upset. spread himself out in a chair which proved much more comfortable than he had expected. “I'm just sick of violence and killings. What’s on your mind ?’’ Fine lines showed on Dawson's tanned face. “How well do you know the coast off the keys?” “I’ve fished it to death.” "Do you know Harold Macomber?” “Never heard of him.” "He’s a friend of mine. He has a fishing boat here—or did have until this morning. He left in it for Boston a few hours ago. We made a farewell fishing trip together yesterday.” Stan choked down his desire to say: “I know it,” with a swallow of Scotch, and substituted: "Some weather!” “It was worse outside than on land. When we left in the morning it looked pretty good, but two hours out a so’wester hit us and we had to run for shelter in Card Sound.” “South of Old Rhodes Key.” "I’ll say you know the coast.” Dawson paused to light a worn pipe. "The engine went bad.” Stan gave a low whistle. “You’re lucky to be here. Were you inside Carysfort Reef?” “Luckily. But our anchor wouldn't hold. We blew into a sheltered cove between a couple of small keys and grounded. I managed to get ashore on one of them in the tender. I knew we would have to kedge off when the wind dropped, and I wanted to find a tree where we could make fast with a line. I think I’ve found the answer to a lot of things which have been puzzling the Miami police.” Stan's weariness had e vanished. He swished the ice around in his glass and finished his drink. "I’m beginning to get it, Commander. Let’s hear the rest. You bumped into a hangout?” “There was a shack on the key—recently used. I found this.” He reached into a table drawer beside him and took out a paper bag. From the bag he removed a dirty pint milk bottle and handed it to Stan. It looked like any other milk bottle, except for a coating of wax around the edge near the mouth. “It's been sealed with wax,” Stan said. “A method used by the slickest smugglers to fool the coast-guard. I heard of it first in China.” Dawson leaned forward to add emphasis. “Today the Chinks don’t take any chances in running opium into the U. S. When they have a cargo to land they bring it off the coast at a specified time—preferably a very dark night. The opium is packed in milk bottles and sealed—but each bottle also contains a tiny electric flashlight. A fast contact boat sig nals when the way is clear —and with ship and contact boat both on the move, the bottles are thrown overboard. The tiny light in each shows up a long ways off at night. It’s an easy job for the contact boat to pick them up.” “Dope! Well I’ll be hanged. It looks like the Feds may got in on this yet.” Stan got up and put the milk bottle back in the bag. “Os course you may be mistaken, Commander. That bottle might have been used for an innocent purpose. I’ll take it down to headquarters anyhow and see what Fred Fawcett can find. Was there anything else?” (To Be Continued) Capniiirt by Greenberc. PublUher. Int DUtxlbuttd by Kloi Featuru lac.

GOVERNMENT TO (CONTINUED FROK PAGE ONE) restoration of competition among all automobile financing companies.” On May 27th, the federal grand jury in South Bend returned to Judge Slick a total of 83 indictments charging the “big three” of the automotive industry and officials of the company and its affiliates with violation of section one of the Sherman antitrust act. A total of 33 indictments were returned against the corporations themselves and 50 against officials of the companies including: Edsel Ford, president of the Ford Motor Co.; Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., chairman of the board, and William Knudsen, president of General Motors Corp.; and Walter P. Chrysler, chairman of Chrysler Corp.

POLICE CLASH WITH PICKETS — Sioux City Packing Plants Are Closed By Strike I Sioux City, la., Oct. 19.—flj.RX - Sioux City plants operated by the Armour and Cudahy Packing com-, panics were closed temporarily today after authorities had used tear ; gas to quell a tight between strikers and law enforcement officials' at the Swift and Company plant last night. Notices declaring a one-day holl-1 day were posted at. the Armour and Cudahy plants. Pickets formed immediately, preventing anyone from entering or leaving the buildings. Neither Cudahy nor Armour employes had been affected previously by the sM'ike. Nearly 1,000 strikers and sym-1 pathizers, who clashed with police and deputy sheriffs at the Swift plant, dispersed voluntarily about 2:30 a. m. The strikers had tried unsuccessfully to evict 150 workers and executives from the plant. ney-general in Washington. A previous attempt by the gov-! ernment to indict the companies I in Milwaukee failed when Federal, Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger dismissed the grand jury on the grounds that the government and, company representatives had improperly negotiated for a consent degree w’hile the jury was in ses- i sion. The indictments returned in j South Bend charged the three; corporations with “coercion of 1 dealers” and said that the companies were interfering with interstate commerce. They charg-; ed that dealers were required to finance automobiles sold through financing companies owned or controll-d by the manufacturer. I

Streets in front of the Swift plant were filled with about 700 strikers again at 7:30 a. m. Sheriff W. R. Tice kept a force of 50 deputies on duty. Col. Gordon Holler, commander of the Northwest lowa region of the guard, was present ax an observer when nearly 100 police and deputies scattered the strikers with tear gas and clubs. The clash occurred when the strikers and their supporters gathered at the plant with the announced intention of evicting 150 workmen inside. They threw bricks, clubs, and other missiles at the building and broke nearly all windows. Inside the building were executives of the company, a dozen deputies and workers. They have been eating and sleeping in the building since Sept. 29 when the Packinghouse Workers Union, affiliate of the committee for industrial organization, ordered a walkout, charging that the company had refused to meet with a union grievance committee. The dispute involves only that issue. The clash lasted 15 minutes. Some of the rioters seized a police car and turned it over, injuring Policeman Harry Gibbons. He suffered a wrist injury. A dozen other persons were bruised. Sheriff W. R. Tice rushed reinforcements to the scene and as the strikers moved toward the plant's main entrance, the officers unleashed a barrage of tear gas. The strikers retreated, ending the most semoius phase of the riot, but they continued to throw missiles. The gas spread for nearly two blocks and left hundreds gasping, many ill. The deputies gained control of the situation after the gas attack and the crowd quieted down. o 14 SAVED AS (CONTINUED FIIOM PAGE ONE) Sothan, bound for New York; F. T.

I ery. The plane began its trip at Houston and was flying byway of . New Orleans, Montgomery, Atlan- ' la, and Washington, to Newark. Connolly was returning to New I York after addressing a sectional meeting of the national eucharistlc I congress at New Orleans. Pilof Hlssong refused to accept any credit for his feat, classing it as a routine emergency landing. Foot said that the passengers felt no heat from the flames until after the plane had landed. The lauding was smooth. Pilot Hissong guided one wing, after the wheels had touched the ground, against a tree in order to stop the plane quickly, and the wing was sheared off. Hissong said he retarded the plane's landing speed by stalling the one motor just before the ship touched the ground. Throughout the maneuver he had to keep the right aileron depressed to preserve the plane's balance. Rivers praised Hissong's cool landing and the calmness of the other passengers in the descent. "There was no screaming and no terror.” Rivers said. ”We just put our faith in the pilot and got down all right.” Foot described the landing as "almost miraculous.” The plane, a Douglas DC-2 with a capacity of 14 passengers and crew of three, was described as a total loss. Investigators were en route here to examine the wreckage in an attempt to determine what made the motor shake loose and catch on fire. o CHURCH PLANS I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ty and locating the county seat in Decatur.
